INS Where To Go Camping Guide | Unali’yi Lodge 236 Page 4 Unali’yi Lodge 236 Order of the Arrow Coastal Carolina Council, BSA Dear Unit Leader, I am thrilled to be the editor this year for the 2010 Unali’yi Lodge Where to Go Camping Guide. I love to camp, and I’m sure you do! After many hours of work I am proud to present this years revised edition. Since the addition of color to our publication, the guide has been prohibitively expensive to print. We will continue to publish the Where To Go Camping Guide in color. It will be available to down- load as a PDF from our website http://www.site236.com. For those troops in our Council we will make available a printed black and white version. We have made several small changes to our publication this year, many regarding changing rates for boat rentals and camping fees. This year many parks have waived their entry fees. I have noted this on their page. I have also left their prior fee incase they return to the fee program in 2011. Because it is our intention to fairly and adequately assess as many camping options as possible, we have made it our foremost initiative to maintain a clear, unbiased, current, and thorough writing style for every entry. Any corrections which you feel would improve our Where to Go Camping Guide should be ad- dressed to a member of Unali'yi Lodge's youth leadership. Contact information for these individuals can be found

  • Time Extension for Completing Eagle Rank Requirement Due to COVID-19
    Time Extension for completing Eagle rank requirement due to COVID-19 The Boy Scouts of America has approved two big temporary changes to advancement rules, in response to difficulties arising from the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus. First: effectively immediately through September 30, 2020, local councils have the authority to grant extensions for Scouts to complete requirements for the ranks of Eagle Scout or Quartermaster, or the Venturing Summit Award. However, these local council extensions may only be granted if COVID-19 disruptions are the reason the Scout needs extra time to complete these requirements. To be clear, this extension would grant time to complete specific requirements impacted by COVID-19 disruptions – like completing the Eagle service project. Scouts BSA members must already hold the Life Scout rank in order to qualify for this specific extension. Second: now through September 30, 2020, BSA will accept electronic or digital signatures for youth applicants and unit approvals on these award applications. This includes printing out the application document, signing it with a pen, scanning/taking a picture, and sending via email or other appropriate communication platform to the next person for signature. To request an extension that would give a Scout more time to complete Eagle requirements, please: 1) complete the BSA form 11.2.0.0 “Request for Extension of Time to Earn Eagle Scout Rank” • Make sure you enter the board of review date when you earned the Life rank • In the field titled, “Please provide a brief summary of

  • South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
    FOREWORD Abundant fish and wildlife, unbroken coastal vistas, miles of scenic rivers, swamps and mountains open to exploration, and well-tended forests and fields…these resources enhance the quality of life that makes South Carolina a place people want to call home. We know our state’s natural resources are a primary reason that individuals and businesses choose to locate here. They are drawn to the high quality natural resources that South Carolinians love and appreciate. The quality of our state’s natural resources is no accident. It is the result of hard work and sound stewardship on the part of many citizens and agencies. The 20th century brought many changes to South Carolina; some of these changes had devastating results to the land. However, people rose to the challenge of restoring our resources. Over the past several decades, deer, wood duck and wild turkey populations have been restored, striped bass populations have recovered, the bald eagle has returned and more than half a million acres of wildlife habitat has been conserved. We in South Carolina are particularly proud of our accomplishments as we prepare to celebrate, in 2006, the 100th anniversary of game and fish law enforcement and management by the state of South Carolina. Since its inception, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has undergone several reorganizations and name changes; however, more has changed in this state than the department’s name. According to the US Census Bureau, the South Carolina’s population has almost doubled since 1950 and the majority of our citizens now live in urban areas.
